Heartland Momentum for Medicare For All

We’re in a different moment. The idea of Medicare for All has been around a long time. But as the 2020 campaigns kick in, there is clear momentum.

On the first segment, Melinda St.Louis, Campaign Director for Public Citizen’s Medicare for All Campaign lays out what it is, what it isn’t, and the fiscal realities. And from Iowa, fourth generation family farmer and registered nurse Barb Kalbach talks about the urgent need for Medicare for All in rural midwestern America in particular. Which Democrats lost last time.
